Gamblin’ Man (Roving Gambler)

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a rovin' gambler
I've seen most every town
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
Lord, I lay my money down
Yeah, I lay my money down

[Verse 2]
I gamble out in Texas
And down in New Orleans
I've lost a pot with four-of-a-kind
I've won with a couple of queens
Lord, I bluffed with a couple of queens
And I won with a couple of queens

[Verse 3]
I met me a friend in Frisco
Lady Luck was her name
Well, I couldn't even lose with a pair of two's
'Till a woman got in the game
Lord, a redhead got in the game
Yeah, a woman got in the game

[Verse 4]
Well, she won my horse and saddle
She won my Bowie knife
When I lost everything I had
She told me to bet my life
Lord, she told me to bet my life
She told me to bet my life

[Verse 5]
If you don't wanna lose your freedom
If you care about your life
Don't get in a game with a redheaded dame
You'll win yourself a wife
Lord, you'll win yourself a wife
You've got yourself a wife
